NVIDIA RTX 50 SERIES - (PRE)ORDER DISCUSSION **NO COMPETITOR HINTING**

[Joxeon]

A day in the life of an Nvidia customer.

Found a brand going MSRP .... Will disclose after I've bought it

Yup been there but I ***ed up.... what have I done ?

A grand for a crappy 5070 OMG... Wish I bought the 5080 now

 

[Gibbo]

How many MSI ones did you have in stock?

Also, do you have any idea on the ETA for the pre-orders, for example the Zotac one, would that take a while to come through?

Website states 2-6 weeks, which is pretty accurate, first waves will be due in 2-3 weeks.

Great thank you!

 

[Bizarre]

Wow a grand for a lacklustre card with similar performance as a card you could have purchased over the last year or so, for less. PC gaming is just a pathetic joke at this point. All these etailors cashing in on their quite frankly criminally pre-scalped prices across the 50 range, must not have heard the phrase, don't bite the hand that feeds you. Their GREED will come back around to haunt them, maybe not this, week, month, or year, but one day. People have very long memories.

Asus GeForce RTX 5070 Ti TUF Gaming OC 16GB for £1000

Just wow. But its now instock, hurry guys

What sort of plonkers are paying this sort of money?

 

[Brumboy]

What's better to go for:

MSI GeForce RTX 5070 Ti Ventus 3X OC 16GB GDDR7 PCI-Express Graphics Card
Zotac GeForce RTX 5070 Ti Solid Core 16GB GDDR7 PCI-Express Graphics Card

Both the same price? I managed to grab a MSI but if the wait for the Zotac is only 2-6 weeks then that's tempting due to it's 5 year warranty. Bit of a decision to make!

Neither.

Wait for them to be closer to £700 once the initial price gouging is gone.

I haven't kept track of GPU prices post release. Do they generally go down in price quite quickily?

Already dropped from 40 to 37 in the queue for my Palit. Some people are so weak

 

[Doop!]

Say what you like about consoles at least you can just buy them at RRP

me 2

 

[Ascendancy]

Right now you can, 4 years after they launched. Getting a PS5 on release was just like this though, and I expect the Switch 2 to be similar later this year

Managed to get one for £799. I'm coming from a 3070, I play at 4k. I will sell my 3070 so this 5070Ti will cost me £550 in the end. I keep graphics cards for 4-5 years on average.

So hopefully this was the right decision..

It was, that's a good upgrade and a decentish price.

 

[DavieJG]

its a bit like when the titanic was sinking, the 1st class passengers get to get in the life boats 1st, whilst the 2nd class passengers get to sink with the ship.

Interesting fact if slightly off topic, there was a greater mortality rate amongst 1st class men than second class women.

I guess it's good considering the overall market! 2x increase at 4k is very nice

Yeah it's not bad at all considering. And from any 3000 series card, it's a good upgrade.
